Historical enquiries

Our Cultural and Countryside Services section may be able to offer assistance with the identification of historical objects and natural history specimens at any of our museums and galleries.

Please contact us in advance before bringing items in to ensure a member of staff is available to help you. We can only answer enquiries that relate directly to objects in the collections, or to information that we hold.

We will however, help you to find the best sources of information to enable you to track down what you need.

Please note: We cannot give a valuation for objects. This should be done by contacting a dealer or auction house.
